Christmastime comes but once a year
I'm so happy and the kids are happy too
You’ll take the next six months to pay these bills
Every time I think about it, it gives me chills
I don't care, Christmas comes but once a year
I'm gettin’ ready, gonna have myself a ball
I'm goin' dancin', gonna dance in every hall
I'm gonna finger pop 'til New Years' Eve
And I don't care what I have to pay
I don’t care, Christmas comes but once a year
After all, all is said and done
I hope your friends are the only ones
Take the next six months to pay these bills
Every time I think about it, it gives me chills
I don’t care, Christmas comes but once a year
I don't care, Christmas comes but once a year
